+DESCRIPTION
+ LZF is an extremely fast (not that much slower than a pure memcpy)
+ compression algorithm. It is ideal for applications where you want to
+ save *some* space but not at the cost of speed. It is ideal for
+ repetitive data as well. The module is self-contained and very small.
+
+ It's written in ISO-C with no external dependencies other than what
+ C provides and can easily be #include'd into your code, no makefile
+ changes or library builds requires.
+
+ A C♯ implementation without external dependencies is available, too.
+
+ I do not know for certain wether any patents in any countries apply
+ to this algorithm, but at the moment it is believed that it is free
+ from any patents. More importantly, it is also free to use in every
+ software package (see LICENSE).
+
+ See the lzf.h file for details on how the functions in this
+ mini-library are to be used.
+
+ NOTE: This package contains a very bare-bones command-line utility
+ which is neither optimized for speed nor for compression. This library
+ is really intented to be used inside larger programs.
+
+AUTHOR
+ This library was written by Marc Lehmann <schmorp@schmorp.de> (See also
+ http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/liblzf).
